Life on walls
Much to tell about the walls that surround the barrio,
this form of solid rectangular objects whispers as you pass by, it tries to explain the history,
present and future of life, get close to it,
your ear piece touch the cold solid concrete and hear its voice,
it begins to explain life in the hood,
the cracks on my body is the separation of life,
some thinking this but the others thinking about that,
the different colors been placed in its skin
with names and numbers teaches you that everyone gets messed up by society,
no one is ever pure,
the blood stains is the pain of life
and the end of dreams for the ones who tend to place flowers so I can get the hope,
beauty hands touch the skin and create a beautiful image of hope and life,
many people stand in front and smile as they pass by,
separate from the solid skin and take a look at it,
you see the cracks, you see the graffiti, the stains,
but still that form is strong and stands tall,
just like the barrio and life,
no matter what we always cool and stand strong,
finally like all you leave with a smile
la virgin a wonderful image of hope is on that lifeless wall
